Vivid Stage's  “Meet the Artist” series is a forum that showcases new theatrical works. The series provides audiences an opportunity to experience new shows and participate in discussions with playwrights, directors and actors.

The series’s goal is to expose the adult public to the evolution of a theatrical presentation and to give the playwright valuable feedback to be used in the development of the play.

It's You by Laura Ekstrand

Directed by Betsy True

Two actors play all of the parts in this examination of the choices we make that lead to the lives we live. Working parents Lily and Greg confront the possibility that their marriage won’t survive the challenges of modern life. In living rooms, offices, boutiques and spas, characters cycle through a La Ronde-esque series of scenes where people perform a chain of actions that lead back to the original conflict. It’s You asks the question: how do we each influence the lives of others to nudge them to their destiny?

Cast: Dave Maulbeck, Becca Landis McLarty
